Dogs

I’m moving into a house where the family are having a boxer dog. I haven’t seen the dog yet, but I’m asking those who have experience, is it a lovely breed of dogs, active , friendly, bark less etc etc.. I appreciate any advice. Thanks.

Generally boxers are fairly high energy dogs. This however will depend on the individual dog and also the dogs age. Younger dogs tend to be more rambunctious by nature. Boxers are normally very friendly dogs, but again it depends on the individual dog. Any dog can be friendly if they are socialized correctly, but the boxer breed as a whole is a typically friendly dog. Any breed of dog can be amazing pets and friendly, a big factor determining this is how the dog was raised.

Good Luck!

I will be able to get a dog, if it lives primarily outside. I just need a way of keeping him in the yard. I don’t think I will be able to get a fence. I would rather not get an electric dog fence. If that is my only choice I would consider it, but I don’t like it at all.

Tying the dog with a rope. I would worry that he would get caught up in it and hurt himself. I really don’t know how much awarness they have of them. But, this would probably be the one I go for if we can’t get a fence.

Would there be a way to train the dog to stay in the yard?
Do you have any ideas to share on what I could do?

If you are worried that the dog will be bored, I have a LOT of time to spend. I am very much a dog person. If I could I would let the dog in the house in no time.

Thanks!
I forgot to mention that the dog will be sleeping in the house at night. The dog will also be able to come inside on bad weather days to play inside and to eat. I am outside a lot be with the dog so he won’t be bored or isolated.

An invisible fence is a couple hundred max and very effective. Also I would recommend teaching the dog to stay at a finger point command with no verbal to stay until called. I like teaching my dogs this, especially insiders to restrict them from entering the living room with company present.

We have 2 acres of land living out in the country. We do not have a fenced in yard for our maltese. Is this a reason why he would run off?

I have a maltese and she LOVES TO RUN! When I first got her she got out and would run and run, she thought it was a game, scary for me though! Idn if its in the breed or not but how far is he getting? the only thing to do is make sure he listens to come(the clicker helps like a charm!) or to fence it in.
sorry i wans’t more help good luck

Coach sells a real cute one for $78, which is ridiculous. I’ve tried ebay and petsmart.com. Does anyone know of any websites that they can suggest. My dog is a husky/shepherd mix and her current collar is 24" long.
Oh sorry… I forgot to say why patent leather in particular. I’ve noticed that the regular red collars get faded and scratched very easily so I wanted to try a patent leather collar in the hopes that it will last longer.

do internet search for leather dog collars

I have several questions about adult weimaraner.
Thanks.

This website gives you a lot of info on weimaraner and pictures.

I am the owner and have put on AKC titles on the dog. She has my dog on a puppy mill site to sell her puppies. She co-bred the litter that my dog came from. She did not have the litter herself. But she is still listed as one of the breeders. Is there any law to stop her from doing this.

Probably not if she listed as co breeder on the registration application.
If she is advertizing it as one of her breedings she is technically correct. Morally it may suck but legally she is listed as a breeder. Unless she specifically states she is the sole breeder or something else that is wrong theres not likely much you can do about it. Sorry.

If im not mistaken the owner of the dam is considered the owner of the litter and the breeder. If she owns only the sire to your dog she may not be legally considered the breeder. It wouldnt hurt to contact akc and ask them who they consider the breeder to be. You could also contact legal aid for your area, they handle civil issues based on income, or contact a local lawyer familiar with breeding issues. May be a bit tough to locate one.

The bands performance of their song from the album “Gorilla” in the Beatles film Magical Mystery Tour, and it’s also probably where the recent band got their name from. Also features a stripper but all the naughty bits are censored, and she’s wearing so many layers of under wear it’s quite comical now.

A mixed-breed dog, also called a mutt, mongrel, tyke, cur, bitzer, feist or random-bred dog, is a dog that has characteristics of two or more types of breeds, or is a descendant of feral or pariah dog populations. The term “mixed-breed” is a misnomer, as it does not indicate the offspring of dogs of known or pure breeding. In contrast to mixed-breed, the term crossbreed refers to puppies produced by the intentional breeding of dogs of two different known purebred dog breeds. The term “mutt” or mixed-breed generally refers to a dog of unknown descent. Dogs interbreed freely, except where extreme variations in size exist, so mixed-breed dogs vary in size, shape, and color, making them hard to classify physically.There is a profusion of words and phrases used for dogs that are not purebred. The words cur, tyke, mutt and mongrel are used, sometimes in a derogatory manner. In the United Kingdom mongrel is the unique technical word for a mixed-breed dog. North Americans generally prefer the term mix or mixed-breed. Mutt is also used (in the U.S.A and Canada), and can be used in an affectionate manner. In Hawaii, mixed-breed dogs are referred to as poi dog, and in the Bahamas, they call them Pot Cakes (referring to the table-leftovers they are fed). Some American registries and dog clubs that accept mixed-breed dogs use the breed name All American. In South Africa, the tongue-in cheek expression pavement special is sometimes used as a description for a mixed-breed dog. Random-bred dog, mutt, and mongrel are often used for dogs who result from breeding without the supervision or planning of humans, especially after several generations, whereas crossbreed implies mixes of known breeds, sometimes deliberately mated.In Brazil and the Dominican Republic, the name for mixed-breed dogs is vira-lata (trash-can tipper) because there are dogs without owners that feed on urban garbage on the streets, and often knock over trash cans to reach the food.
In the Philippines, they are often called “askals”, a Tagalog-derived contraction of “asong kalye” or street dog.Slang terms are also common. Heinz 57 or Heinz is often used for dogs of uncertain ancestry, in a playful reference to the “57 Varieties” slogan of the H. J. Heinz Company. In some countries, bitsa (or bitzer) is common, meaning “bits o’ this, bits o’ that”. A fice or feist is a small mixed-breed dog. In Newfoundland, a smaller mixed-breed dog is known as a cracky, hence the colloquial expression “saucy as a cracky” for someone with a sharp tongue.To complicate matters, many owners of crossbreed dogs identify them—often facetiously—by an invented breed name constructed from parts of their parents’ breed names. These are known as portmanteau names. For example, a cross between a Pekingese and a Poodle is called a Peekapoo, possibly a play on peek-a-boo, along with the Goldendoodle, a cross between a poodle and a golden retriever. As another example, one of the UK’s Queen Elizabeth II’s famous Corgis mated with her sister’s Dachshund, and the resulting offspring were referred to as Dorgis. (German Shepherd + Pit bull = SUSI)O vira-lata é a denominação dada aos cães ou gatos sem raça definida, SRD, como são geralmente referenciados em textos veterinários.O termo vira-lata deriva do fato de muitos desses animais, quando abandonados, serem comumente vistos andando famintos pelas ruas revirando latas de lixo em procura de algum alimento.Geralmente os cães e gatos considerados sem raça definida são mestiços, descendentes de diferentes raçasOs SRD, por outro lado, são todos os cães e gatos que não têm origem definidas em um pedigree que é um certificado emitido por entidades oficiais atestando a ascendência do animal. Para obter um pedigree o animal tem que ter pais com o mesmo certificado. Entidades certificadoras exigem verificação de ninhada e mais recentemente a aplicação de microchips por veterinários. O animal pode ter a aparência de um cão de raça mas só o certificado atesta. Hoje, com o avanço dos exames de DNA, provavelmente há possibilidade de se definir se um cão é de uma determinada raça ou não, mas são exames ainda caros. Nem sempre um SRD é um vira-lata, ou seja um animal abandonado. Se houver qualquer mistura de raça (incluindo a cruza de dois animais de raça ou um de raça e um vira-lata) esse animal já será considerado um SRD.Um dos aspectos mais interessantes do vira-lata é a sua variedade. Encontram-se SRD’s de todas as cores e tipos, de todos os temperamentos. Ainda existem algumas características, como o fato de que costumam ser muito inteligentes e afetuosos, variando de acordo com as características herdadas. Normalmente o SRD resgatado das ruas tem um temperamento mais dócil e companheiro que os outros cães.
